NOTE: This answer from Sept. 1995 is somewhat obsolete due to the formation of The Open Group. See "What is The Open Group?"....ksall@cen.com From OSF's CDE/Motif Program Manager, Terry Landers (landers@osf.org): "In response to the discussion [on comp.windows.x.motif] of Motif and "officially supported" APIs ... two areas were brought up that I hope to be able to clarify. Standards: ========= As you probably know, Motif has become an X/Open standard. The X/Open specification was based on the OSF AES, and going forward the X/Open specification will take precedence. As part of the CDE/Motif PST, interface extensions to the XMotif specification will be proposed to X/Open. Although it is too early to discuss what will be proposed to X/Open, OSF members who are interested will have early access to CDE/Motif functional specifications as part of the Desktop SIG activities. Convergence: =========== OSF has taken the first step in convergence with the release of Motif 1.2.5. Motif 1.2.5 merges OSF Motif 1.2.4 with CDE Motif and defect fixes to the 1.2 code base that were made in Motif 2.0. The next step in convergence will come with the CDE/Motif PST deliverables. I hope this has helped ... if you have any questions you can contact me at: landers@osf.org 617-621-7282" User Contributions:Top Document: Motif FAQ (Part 2 of 9) Previous Document: 31) What is the current version of CDE and what are its features?
